About this workshop

You’ve got a head full of ideas when it comes to creating a web app, but where do you start? In this weekend workshop, you’ll learn HTML, Rails, and GIT basics that will get you moving the right direction in your app development process. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of programming in Ruby - enough to play around with arrays, hashes, control structures, and methods. You will also be able to build and deploy a simple Rails app (Twitter clone) to Heroku.

Takeaways

Build a simple object-oriented Ruby program

Differentiate arrays and hashes

Apply loops to manipulate collections

Create and implement custom methods and classes

Explain the MVC structure and differentiate between models, views, and controllers.

Build a simple Rails app from scratch

Prereqs & Preparation

No pre-reqs but some pre-course work in the command line and git would be good if you are not familiar with coding. Ideally, understand how to navigate to a folder using the command line.
